"Our classes usually ARE OVER at 7 in the evening"

would be: C) finish

Explanation: "Finish" is the most suitable synonym for "are over" in this context. It indicates the completion or conclusion of the classes at 7 in the evening.

Option A ("go on") and Option B ("continue") imply ongoing or continuing actions, which are opposite in meaning to "are over."

Option D ("begin") refers to starting something, which is also opposite in meaning to "are over." 

Therefore, "finish" (Option C) is the best choice as it maintains the intended meaning of the sentence.
